AE spot metering has worked fine for me on my OM-4 and R4, and they are even tighter spots. Yes, use your brain and meter on what you want neutrally exposed, lock, shoot. - ---- And then added that... 3-d matrix metering is silly - where's the fun in that? - ----- Try working in a fast moving, and/or potentially dangerous situation where you absolutely must nail the shot - and you will find that there are times when Matrix metering is a life-saver. I have it on my F100s and obviously don't have it on my Ms. Most of the time I use the Ms, and most of the time when I use the F100s I use them on the "M" - for Manual - exposure metering with the 1 degree spot. But there are those times - admittedly rare with the kind of shooting I do - when I am definitely happy that I have Matrix metering. B.
